At The Meat & Wine Co, we’re here to solve all of your corporate Christmas party woes and leave you to simply enjoy the evening.

For your evening, we can facilitate virtually anything. Whether it’s a small sit-down affair with your team or a more elaborate seasonal party. Our four Melbourne locations all reside in buzzing hubs of the wider city. If you’re looking for a spot that’s a little more relaxed, our Hawthorn and Malvern East locations are the ideal space for your evening. Alternatively, continue your festivities after your Christmas party wraps up when you join us at our Southbank or South Yarra venues, a mere few steps away from bustling nightlife.
